High Potency Vitamin C with Rose Hips, 100 tablets, 1000 mg

Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, is known to be important for cell protection, supporting healthy immune and brain function, manufacturing of collagen, iron and vitamin E absorption.

Vitamin C was first discovered in the 18th century by sailors who realized that they could avoid scurvy by sucking on lemons and limes. It was first isolated in 1928 by scientist Albert Szent Gyorgyi. Humans are one of the few species (apes and guinea pigs are the others) that cannot manufacture Vitamin C, and therefore must obtain it from their diet and/or nutritional supplements. It is water soluble and is stored throughout the body, with the highest concentrations in the adrenal glands. Vitamin C has many health benefits, but its probably best known as a cell protector, a powerful antioxidant and for supporting healthy immune function. It is a highly versatile and health-enhancing nutrient that is active throughout the the body. There is a large body of scientific evidence that supports the validity of the health claims attributed to Vitamin C. In a study conducted on 168 volunteers, it was concluded that moderately high doses can lessen the severity and duration of the common cold by supporting healthy immune function. Additional studies concluded that Vitamin C might be helpful for persons that have allergies and respiratory problems. Vitamin C has also been studied for its benefits on cardiovascular health. Countless other studies have been conducted on Vitamin C exploring numerous different applications and uses.
